What is a Stroke?

When the blood supply to the brain is suddenly reduced or stopped, a stroke occurs. Without immediate medical intervention, the part of the brain that is deprived of blood can no longer function. There are treatments that can reduce the risk of damage from the most common types of stroke, but only if you get help quickly, which is why EVERY MINUTE COUNTS!

If you experience the following symptoms, call 911 immediately:

Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body

Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding

Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes

Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination

Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
